Ecolab's 2020 Sustainability Goals

2016 Environmental Performance

Our 2020 environmental goals reflect our commitment to continuous improvement across our global footprint. With a focus on locations where our risks and impact are most relevant, we remain committed to achieving these targets. In 2016, we advanced enterprise-wide efficiency efforts and initiated several large projects to significantly reduce water and energy use at target manufacturing plants. These programs will deliver savings in 2017 and beyond to help us reach our goals.

“Despite headwinds in 2016 which minimized progress toward our intensity-based environmental goals, we took significant steps to further embed sustainability into our supply chain operations as a central element of our focus on safety, service and savings. We are confident the water and energy savings projects we started in 2016 along with new projects in 2017 will deliver the performance impact required to keep us on track to achieve our 2020 targets.”

Customer Impact Goal

Sustainable Solutions

We want every customer to fully understand and have confidence in the safety, health and environmental attributes of our products. Our approach is driven by an unparalleled understanding of customer needs, deep expertise in product application and use phase impacts, and a commitment to comply with, and go beyond, industry, government and non-government standards.

Safety Matters

The safety of our associates, customers and communities is vitally important. From the way we operate, to the products we develop, to how we partner with customers, our goal is zero: zero accidents, zero incidents and zero environmental releases.
